    Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury [By Email]

    Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury [By Email] 3rd July 2020 Dear Chancellor, Re: Temporary VAT Reduction for Restaurant Industry We are writing to ask for a temporary reduction in VAT on restaurants, or at the very least the takeaway part of these businesses, to help them in these difficult economic times. As you will be aware, lockdown has had a detrimental impact on restaurants and takeaways up and down the country. There are around 16,000 restaurants in London employing roughly 325,000 staff, which just demonstrates the importance of this sector to our economy in the capital. To provide just one example of the concern there is in the restaurant sector; when speaking with the British Bangladeshi Caterers Association, it is clear they are concerned, like many in the sector, especially considering many of their members have small to medium-sized restaurants that only seat between 40-60 covers, but with social distancing the amount of covers will be less than half. Britain has a £5 billion curry industry, with thousands of restaurants in London. Along with the wider restaurant industry, it is essential we support them. Today, to survive the COVID-19 crisis, many restaurants have converted to takeaway establishments, which will cost them more money, as very little VAT can be recovered, despite still having to pay 20%. Furthermore, many are also incurring huge costs for adaptations to their premises and will also need additional staff to ensure rigorous COVID-compliant hygiene regimes are followed. Reducing VAT to 10%, for example, would ultimately mean the survival of some restaurants that were successful before the pandemic.
